Marianne is a touring singer-songwriter making music from the inside out and deeply immersed in living out her dreams. She has traveled the coffeehouse, concert, & house concert circuit ~ her laid-back, introspective style a perfect soundtrack for the thoughtful listener. A lyricist with the heart of a poet, her writing style embraces allegory & lush imagery set to folk/pop/rock music. Pear In The Pink Thing is the sixth release from this artist who grows closer to “who she really wants to be” with each new project.
In *Pear In The Pink Thing (*a metaphor for a mystery) Marianne explores her art in this free and eclectic expression of 10 self-penned songs plus acoustic renderings of two of Neil Young’s legendary songs. What if Joni Mitchell got together with Leonard Cohen for a writing session at the coffeehouse where Counting Crows and Neil Young were playing, Jan Krist was singing, Tori & Fionna were pouting, Over The Rhine & Aimee Mann opened, and Santana stopped by to play some smokin' guitar... yeah, it sounds something like that!
This June signals the debut of her latest venture ... a book of poetry/prose and black & white photography! Marianne explores everyday objects with an eye to what lies beneath ... one-word, man-made structures are the springboard for her creative & coloring-outside-the-lines musings.
